Our Schools Our Democracy (@osodtexas.bsky.social)

They said they would not cut Title I. They lied. K12 Ed budget SLASHED by the House. House leaders just dropped their FY26 education bill, slashing $12.1 billion (15%) in K-12 funding for public education. It guts the very programs that keep our public schools running — while boosting charter start-up/expansion to $500,000,000. What they’re cutting: Title I: –27% slashed — funding that provides targeted education services like remedial reading, with the worst impact targeting students in high-poverty schools in cities and rural communities. English Language Acquisition Grants: Gone. Title II-A (teacher training & support): Eliminated. Full-Service Community Schools: Zeroed out. Cuts of this magnitude will crowd classrooms, strip student supports, widen inequities, and push more schools into crisis — especially in rural and high-need communities.
